I use the leaked OS 7.1 and before that I used Telus OS .261 and I never had an issue. Always charged overnight so some people think overnight charging is the cause can be shot down.

I think these issues are due to a hardware issue NOT a OS issue. RIM is trying to give us run around by saying this is an OS issue. It is up to you. If you want a great keyboard, Bold 99xx is the best. But watchout!
